Description

The Dolomites have a wide assortment of exciting activities that can be enjoyed throughout the year. And the winter is no different. There is off-piste skiing, snowshoeing, ski touring, and ice climbing, which will be the focus of this trip.

There is a certain unique thrill that comes with scaling a giant ice fall. It is a truly exciting experience. And when you add on the sheer beauty of the Dolomites themselves, the experience becomes something even more memorable.

There are several different areas to choose from on this trip. They include Sottoguda, Colfosco and Bletterbach. Each area has an array of beautiful ice falls that all present their own adventure. Some of the ice falls are perfect for beginners, while others are perfect for experts. And there are even ice falls that fall right in the middle because they require some experience, but not too much.

Since ice climbing is by nature an arduous activity, all participants should exercise a responsible amount of caution. However, I will see to it that every participant is properly guided. Also, I will make sure that every participant has the proper equipment, from helmets and harnesses to crampons and ice axes. Thus making sure every participant not only has a fun, exciting experience, but a safe one as well.

If you have always wanted to try ice climbing, or you already love it, and are looking for the chance to do it again, this is the trip for you. Not only am I offering the chance to ice climb for an entire day, but I'm offering that chance in the gorgeous Dolomites in South Tyrol. If that sounds like the trip for you, just send me a request.

Do you want to see more of the Dolomites? If so, I can also lead you on this 1 day snowshoeing tour.

Mountain Guide

I was still a child when my passion for high altitude began and grew with me. I was born in Trieste, Italy. Still young, I was carried by my parents, passionate trekkers, onto the mountains.

In the following years, I did all the activities one can do on mountains; from rock climbing to classic rock routes, to high altitude, to ice falls, to ski-touring, to free-riding, to spending every period of my free time wearing climbing shoes, ski-boots or crampons; the different equipment depended on the season I was in.

This passion for open spaces drove me and helped me make solid and long experiences in every kind of mountain activity there is. I graduated in Sports Science in order to pave the way to becoming an Alpine Guide.

Passion for outdoor life; independent of which activity you are doing—this is what I promote. Climbing, skiing, mountaineering, these activities are not a gym where we show off to others. They are reason to travel and explore new places that don’t belong in our ordinary, everyday life. They are a way to live as true adventurers. During any mountain trip, I take in the beauty of nature and enjoy relaxing in it.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
